    Hubby's losing weight WITH me?!

    The household effect is real - proximity changes eating habits without anyone making a conscious effort. 195 to 152 for you with a parallel result for him is the rare case where the whole unit benefits.

    57 and 70+ lbs lighter!

    The percentages-over-pounds tracking is the right mental model for the long run - absolute pounds per week shrinks as bodyweight drops, but percentage loss stays relatively steady if the protocol holds. Starting at 222 in Sept 2023 and still going at 57 is the compounded return on the early...

    Ozempic success...now what?

    Fear of stopping at goal is the near-universal maintenance anxiety. Berberine as insulin-sensitizer support after the tirz work makes sense as a step-down protocol.

    Sema & Gut Health: A Cautionary Tale!

    I didn't notice any heartburn issues, but Checkup's comment about gallstones is interesting. I lost weight pretty fast, so I'll keep an eye out for that now too. Thanks for the heads up!

    Sema & Gut Health: A Cautionary Tale!

    I need to clarify more, @everyone!!!! What symptoms did you have that made you go to the hospital? My initial post makes it seem like I was fine and then suddenly needed surgery. I was backed up for weeks but EDIT, i was still going during the two weeks (edited original post). It was early in my...

    Finally under 200! Woohoo!

    I'm so close myself. I keep bouncing between 202-205. I’ve lost almost 90 lbs overall. I just wanna lose another three pounds to be in Onederland.

    Finally under 200! Woohoo!

    My goal is 199! I've been at a standstill for about half a year even with a high dose of MJ. I'm stuck at 201. The doc upped my MJ to 12.5, so we'll see. Thankfully, the cravings are gone. I haven't had any sweets since last February. I'm so grateful! Good luck to you at 12.5. You look amazing.

    Sema & Gut Health: A Cautionary Tale!

    Hi everyone! Been on semaglutide for like 11 months now and it's been amazing. Was even trying to lower my dose recently. My bowel movements were doing great, but I got a bit careless the last couple of weeks. Ended up in the ER Monday night with a tear in my large intestine needed immediate...

    Double Standards on Weight Loss Meds?

    Agreed, GeneProgress! It's like I got my life back. Before, I was trapped in a constant cycle of food noise. I wish more people understood that.

    Double Standards on Weight Loss Meds?

    Exactly! Using a drug to avoid heart problems, potential diabetes, or a stroke? Oh, the audacity! Apparently, we're supposed to just suffer and expire. Never mind the shortage, right? Let's shame people with depression for using antidepressants too. Just cheer up! Since I'm not depressed...

    I'm not in the US, so I can't say for domestic shipping. Mine arrived in about a week.
